Postcards from America is a virtual roadtrip of the USA that follows a history teacher and a photographer as they drive across America, seeing a state a week, and sending live postcards on the Internet every day from every state. Armed with a digital camera, these two adventurers shoot images during the day to create a "live-at-the-scene" postcard each night for their cyber companions at home and in schools. In addition to the daily postcard, the website provides Travel Tips, Fun Facts, Maps, and a Just for Teachers webpage for using the postcards in the classroom. Awarded 1999's 100 BEST EDUCATONAL WEBSITES.

This is the most kid-friendly, comprehensive, well-organized site on the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race. Attractive pages and concise annotations will help classrooms and families follow the 1,150 mile adventure across Alaska. This year's race begins on Saturday, March 4th. Links to the official race Website, mushers' web pages, and everything Alaskan or arctic will keep kids on the learning trail.
January 26, 2000 -- From Stan Oleson, a parent from Minneapolis, MN who is affiliated with the site
This site tracks the progress of the attempt of Ann Bancroft (USA) and Liv Arnesen (Norway) to become the first two women to travel all the way across Antarctica, skiing pulling sleds weighing 250 pounds! They are developing a free curriculum which can be used in schools around the world. The site is a good way to get information about Antarctica, but more importantly it's about the value of pursuing your dreams, wherever they lead you. It's fun now, and it will improve as the Expedition, which starts in November 2000, draws closer!
January 16, 2000 -- From Aaltje van Zoelen, a reader from Seattle, USA who is affiliated with the site

Imagine... a lone athlete facing the challenge of running Australia from Brisbane toPerth, through the Outback. You think that's a challenge...? Now, imagine a child facing the uncertainty and fear of living with a serious illness. Imagine the Challenge is a site that is being built BY students FOR students who are interested in following an adventurer, David Adie, as he runs the 5000 km distance across Australia (Brisbane to Perth). Students in classrooms can take part in posted challenges, learn more about the people and landscapes of Australia and correspond with David via email as he travels across Australia between Sept. 1999 and Jan. 2000.

Travel through hurricanes, volcanoes or PI. This site is not limited to places, although places are included. They've bookmarked various sites for you and use a simple navigational page to take you through them. One tour even explains all the search engines and what you get from them. The kids in the classroom couldn't stop traveling!
